I'm glad you made this! I work in the swimming pool industry and chlorinated water had rusted mine so tight that I was wondering if it might have reverse threads. You're right about how much of a time-saver it is. Thanks!
Hi glockaxis! I'm pretty sure the blade could be sharpened. I'm no expert in sharpening things but I kept the old blade just in case. If you have the tools and experience sharpening blades/knives give it a shot and let me know know how it works for you. Thanks for watching!
I tried using it to trim some black spruce branches out of the way for the trail cam. It worked GREAT. But the next PVC pipe I tried to cut just shattered. Dang. You've been warned !!!!!
If the PVC pipe is old or has been exposed to UV (Sun Light) for a long period of time, it becomes brittle and shatters when trying to use this tool specially the 2-inch PVC. I always use the old-school saw for pipe that look old and brittle.
It should only be used on newer pipe. I use a saw-all to cut away old piping that I intend to splice in to. It is also not very good trimming a fraction of an inch off 2" schedule 40
@@MrSgtslawter I work in the HVAC industry. When cutting new S636 pipe to be used as vent pipe, it's mandated that I use a large tube cutter style tool , or even a mitre saw so that the cut is perfectly square. The shear doesn't fit the bill for that perfect cut. I purchased the tool with the intention of using it to remove old obsolete ABS and DWV PVC pipe when retrofitting furnaces. I figured it would be faster than using a hacksaw or sawzall. You can imagine my disappointment when the old plastic vent pipes started shattering in my face. Luckily I'm a big believer in safety glasses. So as far as it's usefulness goes, about the only thing left is cutting the S636 pipe used on the air intake of the furnace, and the previously mentioned spruce branches that need trimming for mounting trail cams. Oh, and to help persuade customers that don't want to pay their bill.

Hey Mark! We are glad the video help you with your tool. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the information. Just an FYI, the Allen wrench comes with the tool and is stored on board at the back above the battery.
Thanks for the info!
Good work
Thanks
Thank you sir for your information video
Glad it was of help to you.
The shears have an Allen key in them next to the battery
Thanks for the tip. 👍🏻
Can uou tell me where you got the battery from. Thanks
I haven’t had to replace the battery yet but it should be easy to find online.
Good video, hey were do you buy the new blade and how much?
Thank you for ur info👍
I bought it on Amazon. It's around $40-$45.
Can the blade be sharpened easily? Have you tried doing that, or is it more cost effective to just buy a new blade?

The Allen tool is attached to the tool by the battery
Yeap! I realized that after shooting this video. Thanks for watching!

I say just sharpen the old blade unless it's bent or distorted
Yeah we are keeping the old ones for that purpose. Thanks once more for the tips!
